• Teaching methods

    I place great importance on the mediation of classical texts and their critical reception from the point of view of new research. For better understanding, I regularly embed text discussions in short lectures in seminars. Instead of classical lectures I work with group and partner work, discussion/debate and the use of moderation methods with visualisations. In addition to conveying specialist knowledge, my seminars always focus on methodological, social and personal competence.

  • Supervision

    At the University of Konstanz I supervise theses within political and legal anthropology: especially on the anthropology of state and statelessness, social order, practices of (neo-)traditionalization, legal pluralism, common sense, constitutional policy, autoritarian states and activism. Furthermore I supervise theoretical work at the interface between anthropology, ethnomethodology and existentialism.

    As external examiner I review theses at the Division of Social Sciences at the American University in Central Asia in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan and I have reviewed theses at the Department of Anthropology at the University of Yangon in Myanmar until February 2021.
